rzen fce8fa4c17 Author the machine exercise circuit with props and corrected hip machine motions
Fourteen Planet Fitness machine exercises join the rig library, each with
authored motion, info page, and schematic equipment via the new props layer
(scene shapes, cables, bars, pads) rendered in lockstep by render.py and the
in-app figure renderer. Abductor and Adductor are authored face-on with the
real seated machine motion — knees-bent legs swinging apart/together against
knee pads — replacing the earlier middle-split depiction. The watch target
now bundles the figure renderer and motion rigs too.

Raw Blame History

Dead Bug

Anti-extension drill — the limbs move while the trunk stays perfectly still.

  • Category: Warm-up
  • Type: Anti-extension
  • Targets: Deep core (transverse abdominis), hip flexor control
  • Prescription: 8 per side, slow and controlled

Setup

Lie on your back. Arms straight up over the shoulders, hips and knees bent to 90°, lower back pressed into the floor.

Execution

  1. Brace and exhale as you lower one arm overhead and the opposite leg toward the floor.
  2. Stop just before the lower back peels off the floor.
  3. Return under control and switch sides.

Cues

  • Lower back glued to the floor the entire time — that contact is the exercise.
  • Slow negatives; the reach out should take 23 seconds.
  • Ribs down, no flaring as the arm goes overhead.

Common Mistakes

  • Arching the lower back as the leg lowers.
  • Moving arm and leg on the same side.
  • Rushing reps and turning it into a flutter kick.

Progression

Heels sliding on floor → bent-knee reach → straight-leg reach → both legs lowering together → light weight held overhead
